Ahhh, yeah I did some research on it, and it is soldered. Apple recommends getting the upgrade during the process of ordering from them..

I'm going the other way on this one. Apple does hardware really well, nobody can really compete with their style. The thing that I don't like about the hardware though is that they have to do stupid things like solder the memory in place to save the extra space a socket would have taken up because they need curves. I think they also do this to force people into just upgrading to a new computer because something that should be stupid simple like swapping a stick of memory has become stupid complicated.

Their software on the other hand is a load of horse manure to be polite. Nothing is intuitive in this realm.

but..but...its so pretty.

Only reason I like OSX is that its shiny and the UI has a lot of neat graphics. That's pretty much it. I like the chassis that Apple comes out with. MBP MBA and iMac's all look stunning and sleek. I just don't like how they are doing so much integrated crap. From a business and revenue standpoint I get it but it just makes life a little difficult.
